Rebooting the desktop cleared the problem with a CPU core consuming 100% of
its capacity without allowing me to select a directory and .pdf file to
import when I tried the second time. And when trying to load the document in
a new LyX instance.
In the almost 25 years I've used LyX this has not happened before now.
/var/log/messsages shows nothing pertinent.

What's usb 1-11?
Where else can I look for the source of this problem?
